Rate Guide Rating_5_0 (1)

When I was in elementary school, I thought it was the most hysterical thing that someone went to a school called "PEEBODY." Simply because it included the word pee. As an adult, my immaturity has proceeded me and I find myself laughing just as hard at places called "Titty Ho" as I do "Peebody." Here are some places that will make you say, "WTF were they thinking naming it THAT?"

Big Ugly Community Center

Big Ugly Creek Rd, Harts, WV 25524

Apparently when naming BIG UGLY, the settlers believed that the land was too “ugly” for farming. Others say railroad workers found the area rugged making it, “ugly.” The name just STUCK. Imagine reading the newspaper headlines, “Big Ugly Child Struck by Car.”

The story goes something like this, “The village’s unusual name is said to stem from an episode in which a store owner cheated a customer who was a postman, by charging him an extra fifty cents for a better watermelon. Some sources claim the transaction involved a rooster rather than a watermelon.”
